Your Strength Is In Weakness

Yes, you say, I know. Marx also said that "a woman's strength lies in her weakness."

I remember too. In my opinion, this is about living with weakness and using it to control and manipulate others. And also that weakness needs to be protected and elevated, and not at all to get rid of it.

I want to talk about something else. About what keeps weakness in itself, what a valuable idea it gives us.

You have a weak point - your illness, personality trait, character trait, whatever! - and you perceive this as a disadvantage, as a reason that does not allow you to move and develop further. You are complex. You are suffering. You are ashamed of your weakness. You are afraid that someone will see - and will laugh at you or reject you. You do not think about your achievements - after all, you are weak, you cannot change anything. You watch how others do everything easily and cheerfully, but you are not threatened: you are sick, you are unsure, you don’t know the language, you don’t know how to swim or drive a car, or meet new people.

Very often you fantasize about what you would be if it weren't for THIS. You fly away in your dreams, far, far away, where the most outstanding events take place with you in the lead role. You enjoy these pictures and more and more often return to them, running away from reality into the world of dreams and fantasies.

You curse your weak point. And to numb the pain you poison yourself with alcohol, drugs, tons of pills, exorbitant food. For a while, you again fall out of reality and enjoy your perfection.

But then you come back again, and your problem grows to the level of a skyscraper.

You know, everything can be changed. You have everything to become strong, the way you want, the way you like to be. You just need to understand that your strength is in your weakness. Not to run, but to plunge into your pain. To realize that where there is pain, there is your development, your growth, your health. At the moment, your pain is your companion, friend and doctor. She says you have to overcome in order to win. It is in her that the energy that you lack so much. Find a generator that will transform her - and you will become strong.

What could it be? Only you can answer. You have a lot of resources - you just don't know about them. Do you get tired very quickly, do you get short of breath when walking fast, does your back hurt? Go to the doctor, listen to how you brought yourself to this, follow his instructions, visit a fitness club, do exercises, walk more often, walk in the fresh air, get a dog, deal with your psychological problems, think about what you are giving up - and do it! Soon you will feel how the strength comes to you, and the weakness becomes less and less. And then the day will come when she will not be left at all.

It may happen that you have a variegated bouquet of weaknesses. Think how much energy lives in you to bloom into a beautiful garden of strength and possibilities! Yes, yes, weakness opens the way for you to new opportunities! You can always return to your normal state, you will always return to it. You can race all your life in a circle, replaying the same situations, experiencing the same feelings. But isn't it tempting to be different? What you wanted to be, but did not dare? Isn't life worth it to release from the cage, out of your weakness, that divine gift that will transform you?

See weakness with different eyes. Be able to see in her the source of your strength.
